The Yes Men
Via New York, NY
The Yes Men, Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno, have been doing "identity correction" or "laughtivism" for nearly two decades. By impersonating leaders and big corporations who put profits ahead of everything else, the Yes Men publicly humiliate them and expose their criminal practices. They have made three award-winning feature films about their actions; the latest, The Yes Men Are Revolting is releasing in select theaters June 12. They have also launched The Action Switchboard, an online platform for participatory direct action, and The Incubator, an 8-week online workshop for developing and carrying out mediagenic actions.
